Southampton and Liverpool take on each other in a dead rubber on the last day of the Premier League season. While Jurgen Klopp’s Reds will have to settle for fifth place and a position in the Europa League for next season, the Saints, who were relegated from the Premier League in mid-May, will finish at the very bottom of the standings. Here is how the two sides are progressing before their depressing summer vacations.
Southampton team news
Tino Livramento did manage to make an appearance as a substitute in the defeat at Brighton, but the leaving Ruben Selles could decide against rushing him back with an unneeded start after such a lengthy absence. Due to an injury, Che Adams’ participation is in doubt, and a number of Saint’s talented players may make their final appearances for the team as other teams try to sign demoted players during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool team news
Due to an injury, Naby Keita will depart Liverpool in the summer, along with fellow midfielders Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic. Due to Andy Robertson’s groin issue and Ibrahima Konate’s illness, Klopp could rotate certain players. James Milner and Roberto Firmino, two departing heroes, will also wish for the Merseysiders to make one more showing.
Southampton vs Liverpool score prediction
Given that Southampton has dropped their past five games straight, they are truly departing the Premier League with a limp. Since early March, they haven’t won a game, and the south coast is about to see a summer of significant upheaval. Liverpool will be encouraged by their recent bad results. Mohamed Salah’s unhappiness at Liverpool’s failure to advance to the Europa League is a sign that the Reds will be eager to vent their fury. This is despite their impressive run of play. At St. Mary’s, things may turn unpleasant.
Prediction: Southampton 0-3 Liverpool
